A GSD can't have anything such as surgery due to the fact that it is genetic.
Medicine to dull pain can be bought however.

German shepherd is limping and moans sometimes.she 8months old. what could this be?
All young shepherds are prone to problems with their hips. A goood percentage used to have hip displaysia (where the hip joint comes out of the socket) so they usually have their parents xrayed before breeding them. Now my 'very' well bred shepherd has hips that are too tight and has severe arthritis at 5 years old. He is on caprofen (s?) Rymadil and can not run without it flairng up. I n our German Shepherd club they will not allow you to jump Shepherds until after 2 years of age because of this reason. See your vet.
